[ Wally is bored, like so many others. But he learned his lesson after last time, and instead of whining about how bored he is? He's going to talk your ears off. ]

I always did hate politics. Court is adjourned, right? I hate courts too. No good memories ever come out of court. No matter how it ends, somebody comes out with their life thrown out of whack and most of the others come out feeling attacked at one point or the other. It's just one big pile of suck.

Here's an idea, why don't we have a vote about getting McDonald's in the dining hall? The food is good enough, sure, but I'd give my left kidney for a Big Mac. Make the vote for real change on the barge.

I guess I should be glad I'm not in the Justice League. I hear their 'talks' are awful. Still, I have to admit, nobody in the world throws a better party.

Hey, I'll go easy on you. I still have my pride.

If you say so. I'll be right down.

Politics, court. They're all just something to screw over one if not multiple people. I mean the whole talk of lawyers being sharks is way more than accurate. Actually, I'd probably feel more comfortable with actual sharks than I would lawyers. I'd probably be more impressed by their abilities to twist words and seek the flaws or weaknesses in your testimony if they were doing it for any sort of good.

Fuckin' hated that shit when I was on the force.

I would back up that vote, man. You don't even know. Dammit, now I'm jonesin' for some fries.

Wait-

3/3

[specialagentj.livejournal.com]

Justice League?

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Once it gets started it never ends, too.

Yeah? What about them?

[specialagentj.livejournal.com]

That's what they call a feeding frenzy.

You mean the one with Batman and Superman and Adjective/Nounman?

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

I think Martian Manhunter and Green Lantern might have something to say about that, but yeah.

[physicslol.livejournal.com]

I don't think McDonald's would be a good choice.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

No? Are you more of a Burger King fan?

[specialagentj.livejournal.com]

Huh. [Gotta kind of reduce the appearance that he's as caught off guard as he is. Behold his magical powers of deduction.]

So you're a superhero? And I'm gonna apologize in advance if you get this a lot and it's irritating.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Fastest man alive. I don't mind at all. Just don't go around calling me Flash when I'm out of costume.

[physicslol.livejournal.com]

No, I don't really eat much fast food.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Then why would it be a bad idea? I practically live off of fast food.

[specialagentj.livejournal.com]

Can do. Damn, well, it's an honor to meet you. Well...we've already met sorta, but I mean-

Nevermind. Just gonna cut that awkward babble off right there.

I'm not a big follower [meaning he wasn't really one for comic books, but maybe mentioning it that way would be a little classless], but I know you deserve serious props.

[physicslol.livejournal.com]

You live off fast food?

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Well thanks. It's always nice to get positive feedback.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

It's not like the superhero gig has a huge monetary payoff. It costs a lot to feed this metabolism.

[physicslol.livejournal.com]

So you could at least get it for free here. [She gets it. Or so she thinks.]

[specialagentj.livejournal.com]

Isn't it though?

Anyway, back to the more important matters. McDonalds. When, where, and how can we make this happen?

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure. Right now I'm just taking a vote.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

That's some of the motivation, yeah. I really appreciate the free food, considering how much of it I need.

[yourunichase]

Damn right. So who the hell are you, again?

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Wally West, at your service.
